The present invention relates to receptacle holders and anobject;t-hereof is to provide a holder of novel construction whichmay beused on automobiles for holding receptacles for lubricants. I

To these and other ends, the invention consists of certain parts andjcombinationsof parts, all of which will be hereinafter described: thenovel features being pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings Fig. 1 is a can thereon; M

Fig. 2 isa perspective view of the holder;

1 Fig. 8 shows the holder in side elevation with the can thereon indotted lines; and Fig.4 isa front view of theholder. Referring moreparticularly to the embodimentherein illustrated, 1 indicates an Iupright attaching member provided, in this instance, with screw holes 2which are adapted tobe secured to any suitable part of the automobile,as for instance, to the front face of the dash board under the hood.

" This upright attaching member has a laterally extending portion 3 atits lower end on which a flaring cup-shaped base member 4 issecured by abolt 5, the flaring cup-shaped 1 member being, preferably of shallowcon-- struction. This flaring cup-shaped member receives the lower endof a can or receptacle 6 used for containing, 'in thisinstance, oil

and having an eccentrically arranged pro? portfor the jecting dischargeor spout portion ..7

In order to interlock with the eccentri- 1 cally arranged discharge orspout portion of the cana retaining member 8 'isprovided in the form ofa resilient strip secured at its inner vendat 9 with the upper end oftheup; right 1 and having an opening 'formed with lips 10 about it.Normally the retaining member 8 has a tendency to lie at an obliqueangle to the uprightattachingmember 1 and is adapted to be flexedupwardly so that the discharge or spout portion 7 of the can opening,-the walls of the opening entering into engagement with the dischargeportion; To the end that the can or receptacle may a be still furtherheld against vibration, meansis provided-for engaging the .upper edge ofthe receptacle adjacent the upright.

' This :means, in this ranged indiverging relation and projecting pla nview of aholder with a due to the: fact that the V silient member iseccentric'with'reference to 4. The receptacle is 8 and; deflectedoutwardly sodas to cooperate with: the upper edge of the can or"receptacle. The can may bestill'further held against movement by a pairof resilient arms 12' ar I horizontally outwardly from the upright 1,being" formed-from a strip of metal which between the arms'at 13 issecured to t-he.,I 1 pright.

It is apparent that in this construction a can oft-he shape shownindotted lines will rest at'its lowerend in the flaring cup-shaped membertand have its spout at the top inter-- locked with the resilient memberwhich holds" the can against 'rotationon the base member opening in therev the center of the cup-shaped base member cooperating" withtheopposite sides of the 8o 7 receptacle. This construction 'makes itpossible for the user of an automobile to carry a supply of engine oilready for use.

WhatI claim as my inventionand desire; to secure by Letters Patent is: Ii i turned lower-end-and a cup shaped base supbase of the'receptaclesecured to said laterally turned lower end, a spout engaging memberresiliently -.co nnected--' to the upper end of' said upright-and havingan opening through, which theI-spoutof the 1 receptacle may pass, saidopening being ec-r' centric with reference to-the center of the i v basesupport andon that side of the center} i nearest the jfree-or outer endofsaid spout" engaging member, resilienttongu cut from. i the metal" ofthe upright adjacent the" fippep., and deflected outwardly to end of thelatter cooperate with the adjacent upper edge of" the receptacle,and astrip secured to the upj-jj right and having resilient arms extending I.

horizontally-and'in diverging relation for cooperating with the sidewalls or the m 05 tacle;

2. A receptacle holder comprising an attaching member, a support at thelower end 5 3 5 ofsaid attachingmember for the baseofthe receptacle, aspout engaging membe pi also held against lvibration beingv into bindingengagement with 75 I 1. A receptacle holder comprising anzupi rightattaching portionfhaving a laterally" siliently connected to the upperend of said attaching member and having an opening through which thespout of the receptacle may pass, and resilient tongues extendingupwardly and inwardly on opposite sides of the attaching member from apoint below the spout engaging member with their ends.

in proximity'to said spout engaging member for cooperating with theupper edge of the receptacle.

A receptacle holder comprising a shallowcup shaped base of circular formfor engaging around the lower edge of a receptacle, an upright risingfrom therear of the center of the latter nearest the outer endof thespout engaging arm. 7
